Creating an Original Painting in the Style of Sargent

[@mailie6403]

Thank you. It's always good to see the reference thru the whole procedure as it is a tremendous help watching all the value placements.

[@paulwilcockson]

🙏Chelsea sooo much. I am a retired make up artist learning how to paint. I am so excited to start these two Sargent exercises I cannot tell you. You are an amazing teacher. I am learning how “not to blend” from years of make up from you. I cannot thank you enough. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋Stephanie from Spain

[@ReadyForSummerNow]

Didn’t Sargent paint with the subject by the easel, walking back a distance, studying, then walking forward to apply a stroke before returning to observe from a distance? I read that he prepared the eye socket before “dropping in the eye like a poached egg on a plate”, rather than just going to them.

[@timowthie]

he did. people have said he could achieve a likeness before putting in the features.

[@aspenisthebest]

wait he did what? I'm confused

[@timowthie]

@@aspenisthebest like he could achieve a likeness just by the face shape and color and plane shifts with the features indicated with smudges.

[@biebel1963]

Yes, he did!!

[@williamschlenger1518]

You're right.I paint portraits and I use Sargent's technique.

[@blakegoode9416]

Oil painting is definitely one of the most rewarding and humbling activity. Thanks for the courage to go deep in sharing your process and experiences.

[@valeriebecker6277]

watching your paint strokes is wonderful......

[@santiagoperon6634]

Hay que sacarse el sombrero ante semejante artista . Un abrazo de un artista a otro 👍👏🇦🇷

[@nellou5527]

I am so thankful for you! You are doing everything I have wanted to start doing but didn’t know where to start.

[@pgm5693]

Love your style..as an artist,I enjoy your brush strokes imensly.Cheers,n Happy New Year.Giuvannino.

[@drewmcneeley2233]

Chelsea thank you for sharing your knowledge! Requesting please make a video on the misconceptions you had when you first started oil painting and what you actually discovered to be the truth later. Thank you so much. Love love love your videos. It teaches a lot of patience and how you can laugh at your own mistakes and still carry on! Thanks again

[@praneetakki]

These are so helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@jazzlehazzle]

Some wonderful moments in this piece! Way to go!

[@stoopsolo66]

The colours really are phenomenal. I found this very inspirational.

[@richardkasper5822]

What a beautiful subject I can't break my gaze from her.

[@venkatasuryasatyasubramany4834]

Excellent. Superb way of potrait painting. Enjoyed seeing this video ...

[@theartgirl777]

Very well spoken, ty for sharing 🎉..I have never done a master copy! You have my attention 😮

[@NataweeTehCatxD]

I literally just bought Howard’s pack to paint from right before this video released!! I recognized the model from the painting thumbnail.

[@elbuscadorsf119]

Wow, how wonderful, it's a beautiful job..😍👍🏻

[@coopart1]

I too enjoy the in-depth learning from doing master copies. I enjoyed your thoughts

[@artgeometrix6346]

This looks really great. Exceptional work here.

[@AnilKumar-do1sx]

EXCELLENT & AWESOM PORTRAIT PAINTING.. THIS DEMO HELPS YOUNG ASPIRANT ARTISTS.

[@AmanKumar-ht8zg]

it is so amazing❤ . beautiful colors . not sure , maybe the nose needs bit of drawing adjustment on the right side . 💬

[@valeriebecker6277]

this is so inspirational....thank you so so much

[@asoteloh]

!!! EXCELLENT !!!! CONGRATULATION. THANK YOU.

[@vibhutipanchal5050]

THANKS DEAR 💝 WAITING FOR UR GREAT CREATIVE WORK 👍

[@joannschoenleber813]

Thank you 🙏 for sharing your beautiful technique and your helpful and honest insights!! Painting loose is sooo difficult I’m trying to be patient with it 😅

[@AdobadoFantastico]

Fucking awesome with the values and warm shift into the shadow plane. Got that luminous quality to the skin, very nice.

[@aguilacalva2625]

A portrait in a single section, fresco on fresco, is not easy; you are very talented . I was waiting for the last adjustments and suddenly the video ends, still it turned out great, congratulations 👍👏

[@simonettahelena986]

Very beautiful painting, Chelsea. It looks to me as though you are accomplishing your goals. If it was easy, then everybody could and would be doing it, wouldn’t they? Chasing the mirage is part of the hook, at least for me. Thank you for another lovely video.

[@cynthiamarston2208]

The good part of your posts is the fact you have your own style and way to find the portrait beautifully. Its important to copy masters too but then again not really. I think when an artist finds a portrait in their own style that satisfies them it doesnt matter how you or others do it. So if you want a Masters’ style then fine. What is professional level exactly? I think its when a portrait is very good. A lot can be learned from copy work. Id say be careful. Do what your abilities call you to do so the painting doesnt get messed up and blossom from there where your own style evolves.

[@zelgaanderson2835]

Loved this. May I ask the colours you used as the palette is fabulous

[@swandive7290]

Excellent Work !...Remarkable !

[@hermancroix9241]

Hi Chelsea, you are really awesome. How long does it take to complete a work like the one in the video?

[@Estupid0TheMex]

3 hours is the regular for a good drawing or painting

[@jand9770]

What was the color palette utilized for this portrait?

[@artzone_182]

Very nice. Beautifully done

[@edwardmirza]

Hi, thanks for this. In terms of medium: For the first layer of colour could you just add turps? Then for the second and maybe final layer could you just use a medium of two parts refined linseed oil, one part mineral spirits, just added to be able to get enough detail and fine-ness of stroke when required - would it be good to just use a bit of such a mixture to obtain this ‘mayonnaise’ like quality as a general rule for the top layers?

[@hotpocketmaster6926]

What colors did you use for those light and dark shadows? I’m working on learning color mixing and color theory and I’m struggling with mixing shadows. :)

[@ChelseaLang]

It depends on where you're looking at in the painting, but my shadows are predominantly Transparent Oxide Brown, or maybe Transparent Oxide Red, typically muted with a bit of Viridian or Ultramarine. But, what I find more helpful than paint recipes is to actually do an exercise like these! I recommend these to my students all the time, and it really speeds up the process of learning color mixing. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2jNc5WBmt2JeNk&pp=gAQBiAQB

[@fuzzydragons]

you can def see a bit of Sargent influence, especially around the eyes and the colours of the cheeks 😀

[@minhnguyen-jg7pt]

I didn’t know about Sargent till now. Thanks for sharing Chelsea. You are great artist & teacher 🙂🌻🙏🏻

Which colours have u used

[@southernamerican5027]

Beautiful!

[@beenasibi5971]

Owe!!! Excellent!!!!!!

[@ericasharma1320]

a light amount of green added in the background layer of the cheeks beside lips on the side where there is light. would have made it perfect.

[@annette9179]

Hi how long are you waiting for before applying another layer?

[@artofaktoprak]

so beatiful art

[@emilydahlia4178]

Hello Chelsea, I would like to get a hold of you about some training under you. I am an art student attending the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. I am looking for somebody who can aid me in advancing beyond the art academy.

[@denisefike]

May i ask what your pallet choices are please?

[@Ron_DeForest]

Just wondering how long it took you to get this good?

[@frankderuyck6268]

Main thing here is that you start with a perfect photograph. Very difficult to come by when copying an old master!
